Sir Keir wins on first round ( thank god)

Keir is about as exciting as watching paint dry, I hope they have got some kind of AI augmentation lined up for him

I like Keir, and I remember posting on here soon after he entered politics that he would become the Labour leader. He's got my backing and my vote, as long as he doesn't plan any U-turns on Brexit!

He clearly has a good mind and impressive credentials, but I think it's fair to say he doesn't possess a sparkling personality.

He comes across as serious but i) doesn't appear fair to say he has no personality given the life he's lead and ii) aren't we ready for serious now? Last couple of years have been full of characters, even May's personality got talked about more than her policies, and we've wasted millions (billions?) of years on a project almost no one cared about before 2015 and has left us inadequately prepared for global crisis.

Like I said he has my support, but whenever I listen to him give extended talks, I find his presentation a bit drab.
